The result is never the most important thing #COYS pic.twitter.com/ad4fpBjMtA— Neil Markham (@NeilMarkham1) April 27, 2019A number of former Tottenham players have since offered their support to Ella, who has Down’s syndrome, and condemned those who abused her online.
I posted a video of my daughter enjoying herself….since then she has been a figure of fun and ridicule to some…..not what I joined Twitter for. Maybe its not for me pic.twitter.com/haTZ7P9yF9— Neil Markham (@NeilMarkham1) April 27, 2019Mr Markham discussed the abuse with the Standard: “Saturday night was just absolutely horrific. It was horrible. “Say what you like about me, but not my daughter.“I tried to front them up. This is wrong.”Ella has since been sent a message by one of her favourite players, Harry Kane, who has invited her to be a mascot at Tottenham’s final match of the season against Everton.
